I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, and when I am watching a movie, after 10-20 minutes the NUC stop casting picture to my tv, and I need to wiggle the mouse to get the screen back on. I disabled the screen suspend to never, but it won`t work. How can I fix it? :)

Is this askubuntu.com/a/524847/72216 a solution to you? It keeps the computer and screen awake after pressing a key combination, and afterwards disables it again with the same key combination. You don't even need to alter the settings for screen/sleep settings. – Jacob Vlijm Feb 02 '15 at 09:19
I think Ill drop that, thats to much for me, Im afraid Ill do something wrong... – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 09:25
Really, if you keep to the instructions, there is not much that can go wrong. even if you won't manage to stop the script, it will after log out/in. – Jacob Vlijm Feb 02 '15 at 09:27
Iknow, maybe I`ll try... – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 09:28
Im doing it now, Im at school and teamviewer my NUC :P I`ll report back when I get home :) – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 09:29
This is really hard... I don`t understand anything of it -.- – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 09:31
I didn`t get it to work, so I giving up... – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 11:16
Don't try this in teamviewer, hard to say where is the problem then. If it doesn't work at home, please let me know where "it hurts". It should be really simple. – Jacob Vlijm Feb 02 '15 at 11:24
I'll try when I get home. How do I know if it don't work? – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 11:25
If you also use the toggle script, you will see a notification, mentioning the script either stops or starts. – Jacob Vlijm Feb 02 '15 at 11:26
Okey, I'll try:) – Swinzon Feb 02 '15 at 11:27
I think it works now:) – Swinzon Feb 03 '15 at 07:46
Perfect! Glad it works. – Jacob Vlijm Feb 03 '15 at 07:47
